“The Shadow of Her Smile is an old fashion erotic thriller,” declared Airship 27 Production’s Manager Ron Fortier. “It has all the moody atmosphere of those old classic horror novels long since forgotten. While reading it for the first time, I kept envisioning the black and white Universal classic, Dracula’s Daughter. The female vampire Beddows has envisioned here is a deadly beauty no reader will soon forget.”
It is 1914, on the eve of the Great War, young 19 yr old Abraham Helmsworth, the only son of a royal British family, is about to embark on what he believes to be a noble adventure. He has enlisted in the army as a commissioned officer and is soon to sail for France with his troops. He has also become engaged to the lovely Agatha Fenton, his childhood sweetheart who has promised to wait for his return to marry.
Then, a few days before shipping out, Abraham attends a musical show and meets Lucilla Deauville, a stunning beauty who instantly mesmerizes him. He has never been so attracted to a woman in such a visceral way. Weeks later, he encounters her again but this time on a bloody battlefield. With this encounter he learns the dark secret she hides in the shadow of her smile. It is a secret that will lead him through the gates of a living hell from which there is no escape.
All art of The Shadow of Her Smile is provided by Adam Shaw from his stunning cover to the nine creepy black and white interiors with book design by Airship 27 Art Director Rob Davis.
